Recent reviews
Welcome to Time Out New York's exhaustive, stupendous, unprecedented coverage of the Tribeca Film Festival. We are giving this six-year-old cinema confab such a generous editorial embrace, it would make Bobby De Niro blush. That's not to say we love every film (another Mariah Carey vehicle?). We just figured you might be curious about the titles that are playing, so we're sending our staff out to check them out—as in, every movie.
Please understand, our hard-working Film department can't possibly review 120-plus flicks on their own (though they can tell you which selections stand out to them). We are enlisting marketing directors, Music writers, circulation assistants, office managers—even the interns—all of whom have varying degrees of film knowledge and writing experience. Film staff reviews are noted. Consider the rest to be helpful observations from your movie-loving friends.
Also stay tuned to our special Tribeca section throughout the festival for reader correspondence, interviews, and daily recommendations on what to see (and where to eat in the neighborhood). And as Crash Davis said in a little indie called Bull Durham, when you speak of us, speak well.
** denotes an official festival selection by the TONY Film department.
